Facebookers! Go like this new gun safety page!!

Somebody got to the name before nanny Bloomberg did on FB. It's his new name for his $50 million campaign. It is listed as a gun safety site. 4000+ likes in less than 24 hours. Go give them your support. The Nanny and his minions are in a tizzy over it, you don't want to miss all the fun. ;)

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

Whoa!  They were only in the mid 4000's when I saw it this morning.

Gonna be a lot more difficult for Bloomberg's group to register the phrase.  Seems it's already in popular use by another large (and rapidly growing) group on social media.   >:D

How would that work legally I wonder? If the copyright comes after a group already legally purchased the domain name, wouldn't the copyright either not be approved, or at least postponed until the domain expires? It seems like it would be legally unethical to force someone that has already purchased a property right to give it up because someone else claims copyright after the fact.

Personally, I doubt the bloomies care too much about the legalities.  The FB page isn't a domain in itself, and it's not purchased, so I don't think there's any way to bring legal pressure to bear on the person that set up the page.  FB could remove it though, if they felt there was some kind of copyright infringement, or for any other reason for that matter.

If this was an actual domain name, I think the owner would have every right to keep it, and the copyright owner would have every right to buy it . . .

Plus, "legally unethical" sounds like a redundancy . . .   :lol:

Page shows as a high search result on Yahoo. So, worth it for that aline, I would think, regardless of domain issues.

Ah, my reading comprehension error. I had thought the domain name was purchased. And roger on the redundancy. :)

Thanks all, the more the merrier, last look they were over 7000 and climbing rapidly. The story is that Titles and phrases like that are not copyrightable so Bloomberg has no legs there but he does have money and FB, of course, leans pretty far to the left so chances are he'll offer them dough and they'll pull it and give it to him. It sure is fun to stick it right up his wazoo for the time being though. I'm surprised it's still there at this point actually. It'll be interesting to watch this pan out.

This will be another astroturf org that will disappear when Bloomberg tries a new (old) tack.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Yup, something between 30 and 40 likes per minute. Amazing. But you're right Bloomberg will throw money at it and win in the end. Maybe. More talk is it is certainly geared more towards actual gun safety than anything bloomberg has planned for it so that MIGHT take precedence.

11,831 including mine.  I imagine FB will pull the page and give it to Bloomberg just anytime now.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I don't do Facebook, so I really don't know.  Is 17000 "likes" a lot?  That's where it is now, and climbing a few every second.
